The Rock Gives Himself A Hilarious New Name As WWE Absence Continues

The Rock in the ring during his 2024 Rock Concert on SmackDown

Amid his ongoing WWE absence, The Rock has revealed his new hilarious name.

The Brahma Bull was last seen at the 2025 Elimination Chamber PLE, where he turned John Cena heel and went rogue on Cody Rhodes with assistance from Travis Scott. However, while many fans expected him to show up at WrestleMania 41, during Cena’s main-event match against Rhodes, Johnson failed to appear.

Now, as his long-awaited absence continues, Dwayne Johnson recently took to Instagram to share a viral meme, cracking everyone up. Originally posted by the user ‘Scottystarbuck’, it asked users to come up with their unique stripper name. The Final Boss broke character and joined in on the fun to reveal his hilarious stripper name.

Combining the color of their underwear and the last food they ate, Johnson wrote,

“Popped up in my feed this morning and has me belly laughing, Ladies please welcome to the stage…BLACK BEEF.”

Fans also joined the fun and revealed their hilarious stripper names. However, as Johnson connected with the fans on his comic situation, several others wondered about his potential WWE return.

A Wrestling Veteran Has Predicted The Rock’s Return Date

Recently, speaking on The Coach & Bro show, former WWE talent Jonathan Coachman reported that his source shared information about The Rock’s return later this year.

“This is where I believe the information I got is true, because The Rock never wants to have any sour taste left in anybody’s mouth. And they’re right. Three months and what has really been accomplished during this heel turn? When you really look at it and break it down from a macro perspective, that could have been so much better if The Rock, somewhere along the way, even if it was just videos, if he would have inserted himself into the storyline. Can you think of how great these six months would be? Which is why I believe he comes back in July.”
